Peas should be sown in the open ground 
as soon as it is fit to be worked; wrinkled 
varieties should be planted 2 to 3 weeks 
later. Frequent planting for succession, 
and a careful selection of varieties will 
give an almost continuous crop of Peas

3 feet apart and 1 to 2 inches deep. Rotted 
horse manure and wood ashes should be 
freely used in the preparation of soil for 
Pea growing.
